| (MySportsbook) - In a year where it seems like every team has a shot at the playoffs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns meet this Sunday in a battle for draft positioning. With two weeks left in the regular season, Tampa Bay and the Browns are two of just eight teams that have been officially eliminated from postseason contention. The Buccaneers find themselves out of the playoffs for the third time in four years since winning Super Bowl XXXVII. The Browns have been knocked out of the postseason |

| Cleveland, OH (MySportsbook) - Cleveland Browns quarterback Charlie Frye reportedly has a broken bone in his right wrist. Frye was hurt on December 3 against Kansas City and has missed the past two games with what the team had diagnosed as a bruise. He went for a second opinion this week and the Cleveland Plain Dealer cited a source close to the quarterback as saying the results revealed a small fracture that won't need surgery. Derek Anderson has started the past two games and is expected to take the snaps |

Two hundred years later, Lerner has made his own bold move. Owner of the Cleveland Browns since 2002, Lerner recently doubled his sports domain by buying Aston Villa of the English Premier League. He's now trying to navigate two tradition-rich sports franchises on opposite sides of the Atlantic through troubled seas. At the moment, Bir |

Highlights from The Associated Press' interview with Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner: On Cleveland Browns fans: ``I think that unique to the sports fan is a hell of a lot of resilience if they are communicated with in a kind of reasonable respect. Cleveland fans, as we know, are unquestionably resilient.'' On the ``Cleveland curse'' when it comes to sports: ``It's a terrible concern of mine. But every problem is always an opportunity at some level. I still think that this generation of Browns fan |

The Steelers have never dropped both games to the Ravens in a season since the former Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996. The Ravens have lost four in a row in Heinz Field. Both teams could be without a key offensive line regular. Steelers right tackle Max Starks is out following knee surgery and will be replaced by a rookie, Willie Colon, |

CLEVELAND (AP) -Shortly after signing a massive free agent contract, Pro Bowl center LeCharles Bentley showed up at his news conference wearing a sports coat with a new Cleveland Browns jersey underneath. He never got to wear it in a game. Bentley suffered a freakish knee injury - he blew out his right patellar tendon planting his foot - on Day 2 of training camp, triggering an avalanche of injuries for the Browns (4-10), who enter Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 12 players on injured |

| (MySportsbook) - The Cleveland Browns lost another game this past Sunday. That should have come as no surprise, considering they were facing a very good Baltimore Ravens squad on the road. Romeo Crennel's troops displayed grit, fighting back from an early 14-point deficit to even the score with a pair of Derek Anderson touchdown passes, and executed reasonably well in a number of phases. In the end, however, Baltimore's talent and ability to take advantage of Cleveland's injury-riddled defense propelled the |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -The Cleveland Browns can't seem to go one day without losing a player to injury or visiting the operating room. The club placed tackle Kelly Butler on injured reserve Wednesday with a broken foot, another blow to their banged-up offensive line and yet another medical setback for a team that has battled injuries for several years. Butler, who made five starts after Ryan Tucker was lost for the season with an undisclosed mental disorder, was scheduled to undergo surgery. Butler is the 1 |
